The Glen Park neighborhood was the San Francisco Planning and Urban Association's first project. A plan to beautify and populate land on the hills of San Francisco to be developed with the topography of the area was undertaken. A major developer of the area was Eichler Homes. Eichler had architect Claude Oakland design a mid-century housing tract consisting of homes ranging in size from 1,629-2,020 square feet. There are several unique amenities with these homes such as tongue & grove ceiling and Japanese Shoji style closets and courtyards consistent with the indoor/outdoor living theme. Many of these homes are still occupied by their original owners.
